Harvic Jordan’s Unworthy Criticism.
The editor of The Georgian return! to hll desk this
morning from the soacoast ot North Carolina to read the
article and the malevolent cartoon prepared and algned
by Mr. Harttlo Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
Association. We accept Without hesitation the gauge of
credit and of fact which Mr. Jordan flings down upon the
head ot one of the beat friend* that the Southern Cotton
Association ha* aver known, and we promise to render
thl* episode one of the most Interesting that Mr. Harris
Jordan has evet* experienced In his politic and ambitious
career.
It may be well to eay In the beginning that which we
have said before, that The Georgian has not been the
advocate and the champion of the exchanges, and that
WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW THE UNHESITAT
ING 0PP0NENT8 OF THE BUCKET 8H0P8.
We have grown up by environment, and by general In
vestigation under ths impression that there was era* tend
vital difference between the legitimate exebangea and the
bucket shops doing business In the oountry. W* have
been confirmed and strengthened In thle Impression by
the frequent public and speclflo advocacy of many of the
first business men of Atlanta. And under these circum
stances, when this great question came up at n fresh
and vital issue bofore the Oeorgta legislature, we did not
hesitate as n prudent and conservative organ of publlo
opinion to present to that body our own vlow of the dif
ference botween the legitimate exchange and the bucket
shop, and to urge upon the members of the legislature
a very fair and free consideration of these distinctions
before entorlng upon any radical action that might af
fect the serious public Interests of the city and of the
state. Beyond this we did not go and ehall not go.
Our single Idea was to Invoke for this question the
cloar and full understanding and the unbiased decision
of tho law-making bodlea In order that Justice might be
done and conservative aetion might be reached. We
have never for one moment put ourselves beyond the
plane of conviction or beyond the right to alter our opin
ion upon this question. W* have vast respect for tho
opinion and for the Judgment ot tho Credit Men’s As
sociation, and we do not heBttate to say .that the Credit
Association hns made a full statement of Ha views and
that these views have Impressed themselves upon our
own. We are absolutely free In this matter, absolutely
without obBtlnacy, and we are not built of the stuff that
would make us adhere to n mere private opinion simply
because It had once been expressed.
But wo cannot fall to express our surprise that the
Hon. Harvle Jordan, who represents himself, The Cot-
toa Journal and the Southern Cotton Association In that
splendid organisation, formed to advance the Interests
of the cotton planter, should go ‘far out ot his way to
father and to frame an attack upon so good and so loyal
a friend to the cotton planter and grower as we have
been.
Within the past year, the editor of this paper, with
out money and without price, at hit own expense nml In
hts own time, lms, at the request of various county as
sociations of the cotton growers, gone to them to apeak
In earnest and ardent advocacy ot the alms. Interests
and plans ot the association. We hare given freely of
whatever brains and Information we hare bad to the In
terests and advancement ot this cause. We have receiv
ed the thanks of some twenty or thirty cottdn growers'
associations assembled In Georgia for the purpose ot
hearing these speeches made In their behalf, aud we
have received more than once aud In moat emphatic
fashion, the hearty commendation and expressed grat
itude of Mr. Jordan himself for the nature and effective
ness ot these speeches made In behalf ot this association.
It may be said here that in not on* ot these speeches
havo we ever remotely nr directly referred In any de
gree, to any private Interest or any public candidacy
which the editor of thla paper may have had at any time
toward Any office In the state or Id the United States.
It may be Imagined then how great was the surprise with
which we have received the ungenerous and unworthy
stab which this man Harvle Jordan has dealt to a friend
and a cooperator whose service he has so frequently and
gratefully approved.
Now, supposing for the sake bf argument, that the
editor ot this paper was mistaken In his analysts ot ths
difference between the bucket shops and the legitimate
exchanges? We submit the question that If thl* be true,
no man In Georgia should have been more chart Bible and
more considerate toward any possible mistake In Judg
ment than thl* complacent politician who has been
chosen as the head ot the Southern Cotton Association.
Why, the echoes have scarcely died at yet upon the
shibboleth ot “Harvle Jordan and 15c cotton!" Into that
splendid promise hts strong cocksure assertions led us
all. We followed fast In the wake ot his superior wis
dom, his professional Information and hit "duty-to-know.”
At Atlanta, at Asheville and at New Orleans, the South
ern farmers either fell or were whipped Into line be
hind Harvle Jordan’s war cry until finally over the pro
test and Judgment ot many thoughtful men, It became
almost positive treason to differ with the Boss on this
question. But, alas for Jordan, alas for hts cocksure
view, and alas for the cotton planters) There are hun
dreds ot thousands of dollars that might be In the pock
ets of the Southern farmers now It Harvle Jordan had
not made that foolish mistake Into which we ao blindly
tell and ot which through reliance upon hts superior op
portunities for information, we became earnest advo
cates. There are fev who have openly rebuked or criti
cised Harvle Jordan for his egregious error In thl* matter.
They have covered bis folly with charity.
And yet thla same fallible Harvle Jordan, staggering
under a weight of foollth Judgment that coat hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the Southern tanners, Is the
first to rise In criticism against the motives of a faithful
friend who has fought ths farmers’ battles with pen and
tongue without money and without price, and baa had
(ho unselfish work.
There are thousands upon thousands ot Southern
farmers who will recall in thla connection that a man
whose Judgment Is as hasty or as bad as Harvle Jor
dan’s, ought not to be the first to throw a atone at the
friends of the cotton planter under any circumstances.
Whatover may have been hts motive, whether loyal or
disloyal, whether good or bad, Jordan ha* undoubtedly
led the Southern farmers Into the mire. He has kept
thousands of dollars out ot the pockets of the people
and he ought to be modest and kindly In hi* estimate
of the Judgment of other men.
There Is is mean and little ating left In the combina
tion of cartoon and controversy Into which Harvle Jor
dan has projected himself. Some small and unworthy
soul, slthef his own or another's, has been moved to sug
gest that the editor of The Georgian was influenced In
his earlier comment by the fact that a family connection
was an employee In a brokerage office.- That was low and
utterly unworthy. It stamps Jordan as malicious and
ungrateful. We have no need to answer so small and
unworthy a measure of speech as that If there Is any
body In Georgia who would believe that Infamous reflec
tion, wo do not know him. If there la anything In the
record of The Georgian or Its editor to Justify such an
Ill-bred assertion we must confess that wo have lived In
vain,
The opinions that we have entertained nod expressed
upon this question have been those held for many years.
As we have said before, we are not obstinate In their
possession and not committed to their ndvocacy. All
that we want 4n thla or any other matter Is to see the
right and the Just thing for Georgia and for her people,
and we may be trusted when we see it to do the right
thing over our pre-formed opinions and over our financial
Interests. This we have already made manifest In two
conspleuout Instances to which the public has been the
witness.
So much for this phase ot the controversy.
Are the Cotton Officials Speculating ?
The remarks made upon the floor of the house of
representatives by Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, on Tues
day clearly develop a serious, crisis In the affairs of the
Bouthern Cotton Association.
Mr. Anderson la a gentleman of the highest standing,
both In politics and In business. He la n descendant of
Thomas Jefferson and Is a representative ot the second
city and county ot the state. Hit remarks wore definite,
clear and startling In their suggestions, and they must be
definitely and fearlessly probed for the honor and for
the safety of thla great body of cotton growers who have
organised for their mutual profit and advancement
The Georgian 1* far above making this Incident the
occasion ot any reprisal tor an unworthy'attack made by
an officer of that association upon this paper. There Is
not Ip our record* a line In which wo havo ever re
venged any private wrong In our publlo comment* or car
ried the remembrance of a personal controveriy In a con
sideration of the affalri of state.
And we come to thla question now clearly, reBoluto-
ly and absolutely without prejudice In the Blngle interest
of the Bouthern Cotton Association to whom wo havo dem
onstrated our loyalty In no uncertain way. The whole
force of editorial advocacy and of news exploitation lias
been freely given through The Georgian to every Interest
Of thle splendid body of our Industrial'life. Tho editor
ot this paper has at hts own expense, of time and labor,
made from fifteen to thirty speeches for as many county
associations ot the state cottdn growers’ association, and
has received from those associations, and from tho presi
dent ot the atatesaasoclatton, and from Mr. Harvle Jordan
himself, various cordial expressions of appreciation for
services which they wore pleased to deem “most valua
ble and effective.” There Is no one thing In Georgia to
which The Georgian Is more pledged by past loyalty ot
service and by future Intention of cooperation, than
to the farmers and the cor ton growers and to every other
organisation that Is honorably conducted to their profit
We are so vitally near to these men and realise so
clearly their vital meapjn s - to the prosperity and welfare
of the state, that we should be false to them and recreant
to our duty If we did not urge that tho present shadow
now resting upon the Bouthern Cotton Association shall be
analyiefl and sifted to the complete satisfaction ot the
entire body and of the state,
Jn brief, then, the reflections made by Representative
Anderson, of Chatham, leave upon the public mind the
Implication of aerloua official misconduct, which. In be
half ot the farmers ot Georgia, we Insist must be Inves
tigated to the last limit ot truth and Justice.
First, there la a general Implication that somebody
high in station In the Southern Cotton Association has
been not only using his private Inside Information ac
quired through the Southen. Cotton Association, to spec
ulate lu cotton to his own profit through the local ex
changes, but that thla same someone hns also gone to the
extent ot taking stock In a recently organized bucket
shop known as the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and of
engineering personal dealing^ through that agency, act
ing In another name than his own.
This is a serious Implication and If It can be demon
strated will be damaging beyond measure to the further
usefulness ot the present official life ot the association.
Individuals have a right If they choose to deal In cot
ton on margins so long at It maybe legal to do so, and to
speculate In futures to the extent which the law permits.
Whatever we may think ot such transactions, there are
few who criticise to any severe extent the private Indi
vidual who takes part In such transactions. But, If It
should be true that a great and beneficent organisation
formed and supposedly administered for the exclusive
purposo of advancing the price of cotton for the growers
of the state and ot the South, had In Its high official life
man using Its private Information and possibly Indulg
ing himself In private and dealing under a fictitious
name to gamble and speculate In cotton and In
futures, then fhe confidence of the cotton growers In their
organisation Is likely to be destroyed, and the men who
Indulge In such practices are not worthy of the confidence
of their constituents or ot a future official life In the
organisation. This proposition no man can deny.
The clrcumitonces surrounding this charge ot Mr.
Anderson with certain specific statements made by repu
table men and worthy and prominent cltlxena, have
seemed to fasten suspicion In this matter upon Mr.
Richard Cheatham, secretary, and the Intimate personal
friend' ot Mr. Haftle Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Growers’ Association. These statements of the
dally witnesses are as follows:
First comes B. C. Cothran, himself the man
ager ot a local brokerage office, who testifies
freely over hi* own signature that he was approached
by those who are organizing the Piedmont Bucket Shop,
with a request that he take stock In that enterprise, and
that upon his refusal to do ao It was further argued to
him by the promoter that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secre
tary of the Southern Cotton Association, was an eighth
owner In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and that If he
with his environment, could take stock In the enterprise,
there was no reason why Cothran should not Mr. Coth
ran olio further testifies that he himself has frequently
seen Mr. Cheatham la the office ot the Pledmout Bucket
Mr. Hotze.
Mr. Love, the present manager of the Piedmont Buck
et Shop In hlB conversation with our reporter practically
states that about the same time that he bought the stock
of Dr. Crawford In that enterprise ho also bought the
stock of Mr. Fairchild. And Mr. Fairchild Is an employee
of the Bouthern Cotton Association, and Is written In the
directory as manager of the bureau of publicity and pro
motion. This Is claimed as startling testimony.
From statements that havo been put Into our pos
session It looks very likely that Mr. Anderson will be
likely In his testimony to present strong evidence that Mr.
Richard Cheatham, secretary, lias speculated In cotton
margins frequently In a local brokerngo corilpany.
It Is stated by another legal witness, and this one,
one of tho most prominent citizens of Atlanta, who frank
ly and straightforwardly confesses himself a stockholder
In the Piedmont Brokerage Co. that during his connection
with It It was alVays his Impression that Mr. Cheatham
was also a stockholder and Influential factor In the Pled
mont bucket shop, and that he baa frequently discussed
transactions of that enterprise with him upon the basis of
co-membership and co-direction and has not had any de
nial or protest from Mr. Cheatham of tho assumption Im
plied by the nature of those conversations. It Is also
stated by this reputable citizen, who Is no less than
Dr. J. M. Crawford, the famous specialist of the Pruden
tial building, that several conversations have occurred
between officers ot the Piedmont bucket shop which,
It he la requested to do so, he will cheerfully testify
to In publtcr which leaves upon hlB mind the definite Im
pression that Richard Cheatham, through his agent and
employee, Mr. Fairchilds, was an owner and a controller
of tho Piedmont Bucket Shop. It was also stated by Dr.
Crawford that a circumstantial ovldenco which confirms
him In this Impression of Richard Cheatham’s co-oper
ating with him In this bucket shop, was .the fact that a
check for an additional assessment made by Mr. Cheat
ham’s employee, as we remember, Mr. Fairchilds, was
held over under circumstances which would Indicate that
It was necessary for Mr. Cheatham to pass upon it .
These with a number of other Incidents and circum
stances seem to make up the bulk ot the evidence which
will bo submitted whenever it may be demanded, to jus
tify tho Implication tghlch Representative Anderson,,of
Chatham, boldly stated upon the floor ot the house.
We submit to tho people of Georgia that the Cotton
Association cannot afford to carry for n day longer than
may be necessary the burden of thlB alleged connection
of Hb high official life with the buslnoss of speculation,
and of bucket shop gambling which It Is now so vigorous
ly denouncing through tho columns ot the dally press
and The Cotton Journal.
Wo have no desire to say, and we do not say that
thoso charges aro true. Investigation may prove them to
be true or Investigation may prove that they are entirely
false. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Cheatham both deny them
personally.
For ourselves, there remains no other duty than to
urge that this Investigation Into these matters shall bo
begun at once before the state legislature adjourns and
that It shall be absolutely free and fair and absolutely
without fear—that there shall be no white-washing dono
by any partial friend of any party concerned, that the
Investigation should bo public by a full representation of
tho membership In this and other statos—that the farmers
of Georgia aro entitled to know and to understand the
truth fully and perfectly and Just what connection. If any,
their high officials may have had In private with this
Iniquity which they are so loudly condemning In public.
Mr. Cheatham Is secretary of tho Southern Cotton
Association. More than this he Is tho Intimate and per
sonal friend of Jordan, the president There are
those who know them both who say that of the two mon
Mr. Cheatham Is the shrewder and more capablo and that
he exercises a very large Influence upon the mind of his
friend and superior officer. This we do not know. But
wo do know that the public-will find It hard to understand
how between two friends so close and so intimate and so
constantly In conference upon the possibilities of tho
prices of cotton, Mr. Cheatham could have been engaged
In these transactions In such a way bb to conceal It from
the knowledge of his friend and fellow officer.
There Is enough In the air ot doubt and ot apprehen-
slon and of suspicion to Justify us in saying that until
these charges are thoroughly and bravely sifted, and the
atmosphere completely and finally cleared, the present
usefulness and effectiveness of the officers of this associa
tion are seriously endangered, and that those interests
which should be always subordinated to the vastly greater
interests of the Southern cotton growers, will themselves
demand tho fullest and promptest and most public action
to find the truth and to tell It.

Republicans Passing the Plate.
The Republican party Is passing tho plate.
Gentlemen who have affiliated with that party In
times past, down In this section ot the political vineyard,
have been receiving touching little communications ask
ing that they contribute the sum of one modest dollar to
defray the expenses of the 0. O. P. In the congressional
campaign which Is gathering strength for the fall elec
tions.
Some of them have responded, but some of them
have not, -
The party of loaves and fishes Is no more prodigal of
contributions just at present than the occasion demands,
and Chairman Sbqrman Is reported to be In a state of
mind.
This effort to make the campaign contributions popu
lar In their character looks very well, from a superficial
point of view, but the people would be much more will-
lng to take It seriously It the present congress, nt Its
late sqsilon, had passed the law prohibiting corporations
from making contributions to campaign funds.
It was rumored at one time that the express compa
nies were to be exempt from the operation of the rate
bill, but the pressure was too strong and they had to
be Included. Tho program was, so the story goes, that In
consideration ot their exemption tho express companies
were to foot the bills for the congressional campaign,
but now they very haturally decline to come across.
Tho congressional committee had to look elsewhere
for campaign funds.
Perhaps It was only a coincidence that the bill
prohibiting corporations from contributing to the yellow
dog budget was not passed. Hence these tears—and the
passing of the plate.
The Republican party on the whole seems to have
made a mess of It from a strategical point of vlow.
They have offended the reform element of the country by
refusing to pass the law preventing these contributions
from corporations, and at the same time they have offend
ed tho corporations by the provisions.of the rate bill.
They are now making a heroic effort to pitch the _
fight on a policy of "Roosevelt and .stand pat,’’ but there
are growing evidences that the country will Inject a re
duction of the tariff in the discussion, and the latter prop
osition Is meeting with a great deal ot favor. The pro
tected infants have not only grown so large, but have
become so wayward, that the sentiment of the country
Is slowly, but surely becoming aroused, and It seems clear .
that tariff reform will have a place very near the center
of tho stage, not only In the congressional but In the pres
idential eloctlon.
The whole community has become thoroughly aroused
on the subject of Imperfect meat Inspection and the de
mand Is Imperative that radical reforms shall be Insti
tuted at once.
The position of lord high executioner in Rusqla Is

Growth and Progress of the New South
thl* wilt *PPJ*r from time, to tlai# information llluitntin# tbo
rrrnarkfcblo development of the South which deservei something more then pan*
lng attention. ••
. Southern Labor and Its Price
"I rejoice In the present scarcity of
labor and the high prices which all
classes of laborers are now securing,'
said one of the foremost manufacturer*
of tha South, a man of broad buslnes*
life who has been Intimately Identified
with the best development ot this sec
tion. And he waa correct. There was a
time when many people In the South
boasted of cheap labor, but that did not
mean prosperity nor general advance
ment. Cheap labor la not generally
low-coat labor. It Is true that in the
changing ‘conditions which are tak
ing place In the South higher wages
are for the time being producing very
unsatisfactory results. Negroes, and
to aome extent whites, In th* Houth,
a* well as elsewhere, content, as they
have been, to live on a low plane of
creature comforts; And that by work
ing two or three day* a week they
ran make as much as they formerly
made working five or six day*, and
therefore they loaf half their time.
To these people higher wages has not.
on thla account, for the present made
much Improvement In their financial
condition. It has, however, retarded
the operation of manufacturing en
terprises, and to some extent has been
an Injury to the people themselves by
making them more slothful than In
times when stress of circumstances
forced a dally routine of work In or
der to secure the necessities of life. But
looking at the question from the broad
standpoint of the wholo South «• best
Interests, this Is a temporary condi
tion, and the disadvantages are tem
porary.
So long as tabor of all kinds receiv
ed low wages In the South this sec
tion could never hope to be an active
competitor with the West and the
North for the better class' of Immi
gration, but with advancing wages It
will be possible to turn southward a
class of population which we -never
could have secured under lower wages.
Thla tn Itself I* a very great advan
tage to this section and will counter
balance the disadvantages under which
farmers and manufacturers alike are
now working. But more than that.
It la possible that sooner or later high
er wages will stimulate the negroes
to better methods of living, to more
systematic work and to an apprecia
tion of what can be accomplished by
faithful, honest labor, with the result
that out of the present conditions of
unrest and thriftlessness and laziness
will come Improvement And out of
these disadvantages which have been
pqpduced by the higher wages which
are being paid there will come con
ditions making Immigration possible,
and we believe conditions which will
eventually result In making more effi
cient tho negro labor of the South. It
Is difficult to see any sign of the tat
ter at present Rather wo now see al
most chaotic conditions among a large
part of ths negro population of ths
South, but we believe that tho incom
ing Immigration made possible by
higher wages wilt make the South lees
dependent on negro tabor, and, there
fore, prove to the negro's advantage.
So long a* the negro feels that the
South lb ot necessity dependent upon
hts labor, so long will he be Indiffer
ent, shiftless, drifting.from place to
place, without steadiness of purpose
and without the development of the
qualities which are essential for his
advancement.
Under the old conditions of low
wages any great broad advancement of
the South was not possible. We
could, It Is true, have attained to the
present stage of development, but this
Is only the very beginning, the thresh
old of tho great work of Southern
upbuilding. What we are now doing
t, so small as compared with what the
South must and will do within the
next 10 or It years as to seem but
child's play compared with ths limit
less possibilities of the future. With
nn area and with resources capable.
If no more thickly settled than Mas
sachusetts, of supporting 250,000,000
people. It Is not conceivable that this
ssetton should not continue In its ad
vance without any- material halting un
til In population It rivals, tn propor
tion to area, the density of the New
England States and In wealth exceeds
New England In proportion as Its pop
ulation and Its natural resource* ex
ceed those of the latter section.
The trial* and trouble* of th* South
ern manufacturer and the Southern
farmer due to scarcity of labor are for
the time being very perplexing, but
out of evil good will come, and the
South may well afford to rejoice that
increasing employment and Increasing
prosperity are bringing about a rate
of wages which will make this section
a tempting field for the activities of
the laboring element of th* world.
